            These three are all Koch handpuppets, it’s just as likely that this is a line being passed from them.

            "it is well known that’ is the favourite phrase of people making baseless assertions.

            An NRA honey-potted by Maria Butina, Republican reps regularly summering in St Petersburg, old ties to Russian mobsters and kgb like mogilevich/dubinin, bromance with Putin himself and their 2-hours-in-heaven, shady PACs and an enormous dark slush fund? Hmmm… idk, I don’t see the connection /s

    Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception.

    What’s the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The inadvertent spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the intentional spread of falsehoods.

    By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns.
